It is a half-term school break. I take my children to


the Monkey Forest in Trentham. We go there by bus.
We come to the Monkey Forest at about 10 a.m. I pay
£7 for my ticket and £5 for my daughter’s ticket. My
son can enter the park for free because he is 2 years
old. We spend there about 4 hours and we have a
really good time. We see many different monkeys. I
take a lot of pictures of my children in the park.
Then we have a lunch in a café. There are few
souvenir shops in the park. I buy a mug for my
daughter and my son chooses a toy. We think it is a
great day out. When we get home, my children tell
their father about the park. They feel very happy.
What verb form (tense) is used throughout the text? Is that the best choice? Why?
Task 3: Rewrite the text using the Past Simple forms of the verbs:
